WHO: Maxon Winters & Caty Norfolk
WHEN: Friday, January 4, 2019
WHERE: Caty's Apartment
SUMMARY: Max decides it's time to come clean about Jon
WARNINGS: None!

( I think you might know me better as Jon. Jon...Snow. )

I told Theo I'd be patient and wait for you to come to me when you were ready to reveal yourself, but I need to know if there are any other Starks out there. Please. You can message me privately, if you'd like, but I need to know.

How is it Thanksgiving next week? How is it almost Christmas? When did it almost become 2019?

Is this what getting old feels like?

I bet you all were thinking, "Oh, good. Charlie is going to stop asking random questions about our dream lives because it's an uncomfortable and awkward topic most of the time." HA HA. No, not quite. I'm too curious for my own good and I think, eventually, all of this information will be of use to us. So here's the next topic for discussion for all you second-life dreamers out there!

What is the best part about your dream life? What is the worst?

You can answer anonymously, or not. Totally up to you.

LYLLIA & RHYS
( got spoilers )

( Cut for image! )

This one is doing things like starting at Athena next week and I just don't know what to do with that information.

BRYNN

Hey, I meant to ask sooner. How was the wedding?

This week’s playlist will be all Aretha. These kids need to know soul.

If anyone else wants a link, let me know and I’ll send when I’m done.

THEO, DANI

I'm not sure I can, or want to, watch more.

LYLA

[...] Can we talk?

DANI

Babe, I'm home. I told you I'd be coming there but I'm just [...] tired. I'm just going to crash, I think, because I need to go see Lyla first thing in the morning. Sorry I was out of touch all weekend. Everything okay on your end?

THEO; added Monday evening after talking to Dani

Can you get a last minute babysitter?

I know I'm going out on a limb here, but I desperately need to get in touch with someone from the anonymous post from a while back. I know that we never agreed to reveal ourselves, but I am looking for the anon Jon Snow. I understand if you don't want to reveal who you are, but I think meeting would answer a lot of questions for both of us. Please...please think about it.

[RHYS]

Did that sound too desperate or just the right amount?

[Shortly after this takes place, before Danielle returns to the Malone Residence.]

[TEXTS TO KIERA AND NIALL]

-- So don't freak out.
-- I saw my brother.
-- I should probably mention it was unintentional. It was definitely unintentional.

[TEXTS TO MAX]

-- Hey, you.
-- Um...I got a little too in touch with my past.
-- I'm a little scraped up, but otherwise totally fine.
-- Skype is not going to paint a pretty picture of me, though.

Too many of these ring far too true, especially 6 and 9. I spent way too many nights hanging out in Grandma's parking lot being very cool or riding a bus back to Dunhaven until midnight as a teenager.

Yes, I'm perusing Buzzfeed on Day Four of summer vacation. Don't judge me.

This isn't only now occurring to me, but I think it's starting to sink in that my daughter is going to be ten in a month. That's a double digit age.

BRYNN

We should do something soon. Just you and me.

DANIELLE

Hey. How have you been?

LYLA

Hey. I need to ask you something.

WHO: Maxon Winters (with a cameo of Danielle Drake)
WHEN: Sunday, June 3, 2018; Morning
WHERE: His house
SUMMARY: Max gets a little bit lost in thoughts of his father and Jon’s memories
WARNINGS: None, really. Just kind of sad.

( Another loss. Another empty space in Max’s world that he had no idea how to fill. )

If you saw a fairy walking around downtown today, do not fear. It was just my daughter, wearing a costume for the third day in a row. ( Cut for image! )

Luckily I've been able to wrangle it from her room in the night for washing or we'd be in trouble. She's cute, though, so I'll let it slide.

I'm taking a risk here, but hope that the lack of judgement is going to extend beyond the anonymous comments.

I know I'm supposed to put up the sigil, but my dragon drawing attempts were ridiculous so if whoever was talking to me last night about Targaryens would filter me, that would be wonderful. I didn't have any more insight, but I've been thinking about this all day.

Hello, Dunhaven!

I'm pretty sure everyone knows me because I am legitimately the loudest resident in this town but, for the sake of modesty, allow me to introduce myself to anyone who doesn't. I am Charlie Parker, a senior at Athena Academy. For one of my capstone projects, I am hosting a social experiment that requires your help. It's kind of like Post-Secret which, if you're unfamiliar with it, is a project that collects anonymous secrets on postcards. It's wonderful and I highly recommend it. I would like to conduct something similar here, though it would be isolated to the network versus mailing me your secrets. It's really easy to participate. All you have to do is leave me an anonymous secret here. All comments are anonymous in that even I won't be able to tell who posted them. Though anonymous, they will be public. Comments can be anything, even something as simple as song lyrics that speak to you but that you wouldn't share with other people normally.

Please help me, Dunhaven! You're my only hope of getting a passing grade on this capstone!

[OOC: Comment with your character journals as normal, not as anon. For IC purposes, we will still assume it's all anonymous to the characters. Thought this would be a good opportunity for people to find out that others are having weird dreams, too, among other things!!]

All right, I need a summary of all the excitement I missed by not bothering with this network until this very moment.

And... go.

So I've been working on the summer menu and I got bored and found something that I think we'll all enjoy.

Enter your name here and comment below with the answer. Then stop in and see me, and you'll get a drink on the house. It might even be inspired by your hero scent. We all win, right?

I'll go first. Latex and justice.
